93-YEAR-OLD-SHOT HEARNE, Texas (AP) -- Officials in a small Central Texas town have decided to fire a police officer who shot and killed an armed 93-year-old woman during a confrontation at her home. The city council unanimously voted Saturday to fire Officer Stephen Stem, who shot and killed Pearlie Golden on Tuesday, KBTX-TV reports. The vote took less than 30 minutes.

GRAFTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Five cows that went on the lam are back home in upstate New York thanks to a quick-thinking emergency dispatcher and a Facebook post. State police say the cows were spotted Saturday wandering along State Route 2 in Grafton, about 20 miles northeast of Albany.

REMOTE SUB LOST WOODS HOLE, Mass. (AP) -- A remote-controlled research sub exploring some of the deepest depths of the Pacific Ocean has been lost. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution says the Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle Nereus was lost during its six-mile dive to the Kermadec Trench on Friday. The sub was being operated as part of the Hadal Ecosystems Studies (HADES) Program funded by the National Science Foundation. The hadal zone is the name given to the deepest depths of the ocean, named for the underworld of Greek mythology. The Kermadec Trench is the fifth-deepest in the world, about 75 miles off the coast of New Zealand. Woods Hole science editor Ken Kostel called the loss of Nereus a "body blow" but the research team will continue their work to learn more about "a place that does not give up its secrets easily."

PUBLIC LANDS-UTAH SHOWDOWN Dozens of protesters ride in off-limits UT canyon (AP) -- Authorities say dozens of people rode their ATVs and motorcycles on an off-limits trail in southern Utah on Saturday in a peaceful protest against what the group calls the federal government's overreaching control of public lands. The San Juan County sheriff says from 40 to 50 people drove about a mile down Recapture Canyon near Blanding and then turned around. Recapture Canyon, about 300 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, is home to dwellings, artifacts and burials left behind by Ancestral Puebloans as many as 2,000 years ago before they mysteriously vanished. Bureau of Land Management Utah State Director Juan Palma says the riders may have damaged artifacts and dwellings that "tell the story of the first farmers in the Four Corners region" of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Palma says the agency will pursue "all available redress through the legal system" to hold them accountable.
